Breakfast Sausage

This is a great recipe for
making sausage patties.
Makes about 3¼ pounds (1.6 kg) of
sausage or 14 to 16 four-inch (10
cm) sausage links
36 ounces (1 kg) ground
turkey (can use very lean)
12 ounces (340g)
lean ground pork
1 cup (250 ml) very finely
chopped tart apple
3 tablespoons (45 ml) very
finely minced onion
6 tablespoons (90 ml)
chopped fresh parsley (3
tablespoons(45 ml) dried
parsley)
3 teaspoons (15 ml)
rubbed sage
1½ teaspoons (7 ml) thyme
1 tablespoon (15 ml)
kosher salt
¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) freshly
ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) paprika
Place all ingredients listed in a large
stainless steel bowl. Wrap well with
plastic and place in refrigerator
overnight.
Assemble the meat grinder
attachment fitted with the coarse
grinding plate. Attach meat grinder to
the stand mixer. Turn the stand mixer
to speed 5 and grind all ingredients
7
into a mixing bowl. Grind a slice
of bread last to get any remaining
meat through the meat grinder. If
making patties, form them and cook
immediately, or wrap well with plastic
and refrigerate.
For stuffing sausages:
Wash the meat grinder attachment
well. Give the parts a final rinse in cold
water and dry them well. Assemble
the sausage maker using the large
sausage nozzle, and then attach it
to the stand mixer. Tie the end of
the casings. Place ½ the ingredients
into the tray. Slowly feed the ground
meat mixture into the feed tube with
the pusher. Support the casing with
your hand. Fill each sausage until it is
about 4 to 5 inches (10 - 12.5 cm)
long. Fill the sausage firmly but do not
over-fill, as the sausage can burst.
Stop the stand mixer at each 4 to 5
inch (10 - 12.5 cm) interval to twist
the sausage into links. Continue with
the remaining meat. Place a slice of
bread through the sausage maker to
remove any meat left in the sausage
nozzle. Prick the casings randomly
with a toothpick to release any air that
has been trapped.
Cook or freeze sausage immediately.
Sausage may be refrigerated for up to
two days.
